  • Human-assisted machine learning through geometric manipulation and refinement
    Patent number: 11164036
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for feature detection such that users can apply advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) without the need for a deep understanding of existing algorithms and techniques. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods than enable easy access to a suite of machine learning algorithms and techniques, an intuitive interface for training an AI to recognize image features based on geometric “correct and refine” recursion, and real-time visualizations of training effectiveness.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2021
    Assignee: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Samuel Irving, Christopher J. Michael, Meg Palmsten, Steven Dennis
  • Tinnitus treatment system and method
    Patent number: 10850060
    Abstract: A tinnitus masking system for use by a person having tinnitus. The system comprises a sound delivery system having left and right ear-level audio delivery devices and is configured to deliver a masking sound to the person via the audio delivery devices such that the masking sound appears to originate from a virtual sound source location that substantially corresponds to the spatial location in 3D auditory space of the source of the tinnitus as perceived by the person. The masking sound being represented by left and right audio signals that are converted to audible sound by the respective audio delivery devices.
